Course Description

Course Profile

Quantum Information Technology (QIT) is an innovative and rapidly developing global field of study, driven by the realization that the seemingly weird features of the microscopic quantum world, can, remarkably, enable new technologies which would be otherwise impossible. These include unbreakable cryptography, ultraprecision measurements, and quantum computers which can solve problems that are intractable on any classical computer. These developing technologies have the potential to revolutionize the modern world: from mobile phones to medicine, chemistry, and finance.

QIT specialists ultimately seek to bring revolutionary quantum technologies to fruition and to optimize their use. That is, to understand how to best harness the weird quantum features to power these new technologies. There are many complementary approaches to this, from deepening the mathematical foundations of quantum theory in order to understand the ultimate capabilities and limitations of the quantum world, through to practical design and development of the technologies themselves. QIT specialists therefore come from a diverse range of backgrounds including:

physics,

engineering,

computer science,

mathematics,

in order to drive forward the second quantum revolution.

In this interdisciplinary field of study, the employment scope is broad: 

Graduates may work in industrial and service companies that conduct R&D activities on the design and implementation of quantum technologies. Graduates may continue doctoral studies on quantum information technologies and its interdisciplinary fields at universities and research centers. 

As students of the QIT master programme you gain benefits from the close co-operation among the university and the ICTQT and KCIK research centers:

You join scientific projects as part of the programme's curricula, within the cutting-edge research teams in these centers,

You become the natural candidate to follow your education path in these centers in the PhD programme after the master's graduation.
